Kevin Riley connected on a 23-yard pass to a wide open Shane Vereen for a touchdown for Cal's first points of the season and a 7-0 lead at the 4:11 mark of the first quarter. The Bears covered 80 yards in seven plays, which included a 17-yard run by Isi Sofele and a 17-yard pass to freshman Keenan Allen.

The TD was Riley's 38-th career scoring pass - most among active Pac-10 quarterbacks. Riley has started the game 5-for-5 for 64 yards.
